A Moment in Destiny

At a casino in Las Vegas.

Inside a VIP room, a lady dressed fully in white sat at the gambling tables. Beside her was a stockpile full of chips, evidently won by the lady.

She wore a huge oversized cap that concealed her long hair inside. She had an oversized T-shirt that reached her knees, paired with short grey jeans with two holes, and a pair of white sneakers.

She stood out with her way of dress in the casino, but she was at the gambling table, with a huge smile on her face. Her eyes darted around full of ease. She looked at the Caucasian across from her and said, “You got no more chips! Are you going to bet?”

The man across from her grumbled, “I’ll bet, just hold on, I’ll go get some more chips!”

The girl flaunted her hands and said, “Tomorrow, I don't have time to wait for you!”

The man became alerted and threw a stare, “Trying to leave?”

The girl was a bit taken aback. She blinked her eyes, then laughed as she said, “What, are you going to hit me? I’m so scared! What should I do?”

The man was stunned; she looked like an innocent angel, but somehow, she had won all his chips.

While he was still stunned, she still beamed a huge smile, “Word of advice; with your stubbornness to try to win, you won’t ever win me, not in ten years!”

Suddenly, the VIP room’s doors swung open; everyone glanced in that direction.

A dozen men stood at the door, with the leader in front dressed in a white tuxedo.

The girl looked over as well, only to catch a glimpse of the top of the man’s hair. A group of bodyguards followed behind him, and the man arrived at the girl’s gambling table. A cold air briefly blew by, before the man sat down across from the girl.

The girl took a glance at the man; his tall figure was quite muscular. While she was considering him, the man’s eagle-like eyes also darted in her direction.

His eyes were like a bottomless abyss. There wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face, other than a cold, blank expression, as though he was made of stone.

The girl blinked a few times; so he’s not too bad looking, but he’s not as handsome as Hudson! She instructed the bodyguard beside her, “Lance, tell the owner that we’re donating these chips to the Red Cross. Time to get going! I’m tired, gonna take a nap when I get home!”

She yawned a few times and stood up, preparing to leave!

Suddenly, Elijah looked around; donate all her chips?

What a generous girl! The corner of his lips angled upward; if one didn’t master money, even if that person had a ton of money, there was no way they could become a pro at gambling.

Elijah squinted his eyes, making his face look even gloomier. This stare seemed to captivate the girl, making her unable to look away and stare straight on at Elijah.

“Miss, how about you play a few rounds with Mr. Perry?” The casino’s manager came over and asked, “Mr. Perry is quite a pro; he’d never lost before, so he earned the nickname of ‘God of Gambling’.”
